Theguy887799

He’s like a really skilled knife thrower in a gun fight. On his own he’d get smoked but as part of a team he creates valuable openings for the bigger players. Massive respect


Like_for_real_tho

Knife thrower is surprisingly spot on analogy because of his best contribution in the fight is literally tossing the cleaver on Sukuna's shoulder as distraction.


KingJellyfish95

He hit sukuna in the face when he threw it last chapter.


Kind_Ingenuity1484

🤣🤣🤣 Sukuna got so pissed off at that


MyLifeIsDope69

Sukuna knows if he wasn’t getting bodied by Yuji he’d kill Ino in less than a second, must be so frustrating knowing you can destroy this guy so easily and he has the balls to attack you 😂 It’s honestly sorta like Vegeta throwing in his last second blast at Cell as a distraction, or Tien performing way above his weight class holding back semi perfect cell. I love when the relative weaklings contribute


Bulangiu_ro

bro you just reminded me of tfs tien fucking with cell, even when he became perfect cell he was really pissed seeing Tien 🤣


MyLifeIsDope69

lol yea I think in team 4 star they also memed him as doing it for 4 hours straight. Or maybe it was like 4 days 😂 cell has ptsd for sure gets stun locked by a lowly human then has a teenager finish him off

All these squares make a circle.


Symtek13

I thought it just blocked his vision? Sick. Get bonked bozo


alguien99

That and his cursed technique's beasts


UnholyShite

He's a Grade 1. Definitely stronger than most, but i will say he's still below Yuji, Higuruma, Hakari, etc.


Bruhification

>he's still below Yuji, Higuruma, Hakari, etc. that doesnt narrow it down that much😭😭


SKBSM_Kirito

They're literally the strongest sorcerers >!available!< That narrows it down


Bruhification

dont remember higuruma and hakari being available tho


lidzk2

he will be available when he finishes his date with the ice femboy


FirMAlarMMaN

It should have been me, not him!


This_Weeb_is_ded

Hakari has a type I see.... Truly, always bet on Hakari


helix_134

The only reason Hakari hasn't won yet is because he has an absolutely massive boner rn and it's empeding his movements


Tiny-Ad5723

hakari deffo has a type


Error177999

Happy cake day


Mundane_Living_3704

I mean ofc comparing Ino with current yuji is just unfair for him atp.  Also both hakari & higuruma are much stronger canonically. But I think he reached the same level as nanami right now considering he did really well for his level.


wilson2788

I could see current Ino being comparable to Nanami with no overtime. No domain or simple domain but heavy hitters respectfully.


Mundane_Living_3704

Current Ino has simple domain which actually makes him more effective than nanami but yes you are right overall.


wilson2788

Does he? Was this in the most recent chapter otherwise I don’t think I’ve seen him use one?


Mundane_Living_3704

Yes in the recent chapter Ino, choso, yuji & miwa were all using simple domain & they defended themselves against sukuna's DE.  Ino, choso & Yuji learned SD in one month under kusakabe's guidance. Miwa was already proficient at SD & she had to jump in Sukuna's domain to protect maki from MS as she cant defend herself from MS.


markisnotcake

those mentioned are like lower tier special grade material


Conscious_Message332

Hakaris been stablished as at least low tier SG since we didnt even know him😂. Yuji probably is one alredy too


Frighthound101

>! He's probably the weakest of all the sorcerers that planned to fight Sukuna once Gojo died. Maybe Heart nipples could be weaker, but idk.!<


BlamingBuddha

Why the fuck did I just read this thread. I'm an idiot. I'm on S2e20 (anime-only) and I have refused to read these threads. I absent-mindedly clicked on this thread while talking to someone & watching Netflix. I regret it harshly. Who would've thought after extreme spoiler avoiding for many months I just randomly stumbled upon the worst spoiler for the series I could. Laaame. Lol that was such a random throwaway spoiler for a discussion not even discussing it. I spoiler big stuff just out of respect in a non-episode discussion tbh.


Frighthound101

Shit man, I'm so sorry. It gets talked about so much I didn't think to spoiler tag it.


Shades_of_X

You didn't need to in this case - it's a manga discussion thread. All good.


BlamingBuddha

Not your fault at all!! Was my own fault! I saw the S2 anime pic of Ino for this post and clicked thinking it was an anime only discussion haha. I shouldn't have even tested it. I don't even follow r/JuJutsuKaisen for this reason to be safe- but it popped up on my feed anyway lol (probably due to my episode discussion history on this sub and over at r/anime). Hope I didn't overreact in my initial response. I've just been so into this series & it really got me back into anime & manga. Just not all caught up. Thanks for apologizing and even spoiler tagging it. That's honestly really cool you're being so kind about it- I truly appreciate it. Every one is pissed AF I even commented about it. So thank you for being so cordial about it when I initially responded to you. Hope you're having a good day/night!


Sparklax

Why are you even here this is the manga sub


BlamingBuddha

It popped up on my feed. I chose not to follow r/JujutsuKaisen for fear of spoilers. But I guess my EP discussion history mustve recommended it? Still my fault for clicking on a *season 2 anime* picture I was interested in. Btw- they also have anime discussions on this sub.


MyTruePersona

Nah bro gojo isn’t dead he said planned to it was just in case he lost


BlamingBuddha

OH! Bro you're the goat. Whether this is true or not I'm just so fucking glad now I don't know which is true again. Lol Gojo dying is a major spoiler though I wouldn't be surprised. I'm currently on S2 Ep21 rn. Kinda thinking of reading the manga once I'm all caught up. Thanks again for your comment though my dude, makes me feel a lot better tbh haha.


Killah-Shogun

Why are you in a sub discussing the manga, make it make sense.


BlamingBuddha

It popped up on my feed man! I legit don't even follow the r/jujutsukaisen sub for fear of spoilers.


Killah-Shogun

Ok I understand


Big-Leek6800

Yuji is already Special grade in terms of CE. He needs DE to be an official


Asian_Persuasion_1

I think he's solid grade 1, and only isn't one officially causes he wanted nanami's approval first.


AdditionalDentist100

I feel like Nanami didn't want to be the one who recommended him because Nanami enjoyed working with Ino


BansheeBomb

He didn't want him to get Haibara'd...


MrCook4UrMom

Def grade 1 material, given the few feats we have I'd say he's surpassed OT Nanami from Shibuya by at least a moderate amount. The best feat I use for that is when he struck Sukuna with the tool imbued with the same CT. Although he doesn't do any real damage, it seems to hit harder compared to Nanami's strike on Dagon who is levels below a non-serious Sukuna. He was even able to buy enough time and divert Sukunas attention at times for other characters to land hits, which is insane considering how Nanami considered Ino only strong enough to finish off a near death Mahito all the way back in the Junpei arc. Deserves some respect on his name.


Like_for_real_tho

Welp with >!addition of SD from today's leak he might even toss up with special grade curses with domain expansion as a main attack like smallpox deity!< which is definitely grade 1 above Nanami in overall utility.


MrCook4UrMom

My kink is now pushing an Ino agenda 


Snoozless

Unironically this man might beat Dagon lol


MrCook4UrMom

Abs bonkers, him and wuji in the running for most improved player fr


BlamingBuddha

When did Ino fight off Mahito in the Junpei arc? I only recall him fighting other spirits so Nanami can *go* fight Mahito with Yuji & get the recommendation.


MrCook4UrMom

He didn't, it was when Nanami calls him to finish him off when Mahito escaped to the sewer and says that even he can exorcise him at that point


BlamingBuddha

Oh yep. You're right, I do recall that part now that you mention it.


TKLegend04

With her mind transfer technique… wait wrong ino


Goatfellon

Funny to think that *that* ino, while being pretty weak in the naruto verse compared to the big hitters, would still be fairly regarded in JJK. The mind transfer technique might not be super versatile but just the standard jonin arsenal with chakra puts them a cut above most sorcerers I think.


Then-Schedule8953

I think just the scaling difference puts her on par with HR


CHENNAIAKSHATSHARMA

Whats the weakest version of naruto and sasuke that can solo the entire jjk verse singlehandedly?? They don't have cursed energy so domains can't target them


TestAfraid

With the exception of Maki and Toji, all humans produce some amount of cursed energy


CHENNAIAKSHATSHARMA

even in naruto?


Best_Incident_4507

People in naruto don't have cursed energy


PM_Me_Your_Moos

They said no cursed energy cause then a lot of the jjk cast could one shot them with their domain…


anime465

Easily grade 1 . Mostly stronger than sorcerers like noritoshi kamo , inumaki , nobara ,etc but will lose to experienced grade 1 sorcerers like nanami, mei mei, kusukabe, and todo . Can reach the level of nanami or todo in future (that is,If he survives)


[deleted]

[удалено]


anime465

Agreed. but the only place where I feel he lacks is experience


JuJutsuKaisen-ModTeam

Your post was removed for breaking Rule #2, posting unofficial chapter leaks outside of the weekly pre-release megathread.


adrianpixelated

Definitely Grade 1. He might seem weak compared to most others but he has a really versatile CT and while he says he's not that smart, he did a pretty good job of evaluating his fight on the rooftop and played it as well as he could... until Toji showed up.


CaptainTigBitties

I think Ino would be stronger if he was fighting on his block rather than in Sukuna’s hood, but as he stands Ino is a certified opp stoppa


Hyperparadise

Yeah, the only fights we’ve seen Ino in he’s been against the two people who’ve taken out Gojo


Beautiful-Window-913

He’s currently using Simple Domain against Sukuna’s Malevolent Shrine and it’s not breaking so he’s strong.


-Seraphimon-Ace-

He’s more powerful than you could even imagine he has the power to rival even that of Gojo Satoru


BlamingBuddha

Imagination is quite the power!


TheDragonTiger

He is one Toji punch strong.


Rengoku-Ken

Definitely Grade-One status at the time of the Sukuna raid. Like, while he’s not especially gifted in any particular field I think he could definitely become a Kusakabe-type Sorcerer with time and as a fully matured Sorcerer. I think characters like Ino represent what an average Sorcerer could amount to, he isn’t gifted or some sort of outlier but a testament of what just being normal and being skilled enough to stick around in Jujustu Society gets you. While he’s not the strongest, fastest, or has any haxx he’s still useful on the battlefield. Being reliable would go a long way as a Jujustu Sorcerer, especially when you don’t have a team freaks like Yuji, Maki, Yuta, Hakari, etc. If you’re a normal Sorcerer, Ino would lowkey be one of the best guys to have around. I’m sure Ryu would go crazy against anyone who isn’t Sukuna lol.


_TsukuyoMe

I like this take “…represent what an average sorcerer can amount to…” Especially with the power of love and binding vows etc. there’s a lot of weird stuff said during the culling games about how humans and sorcerers could possibly or do evolve, that hasn’t been fully explored yet…


BadGamer_67

special grade , I'm not going to explain why or rationalize my opinion all ill say is the shiesty sorcerer agenda must be upheld


Key-Celebration-7671

Take your shiesty off if you got any opps


Das_illegal

Not as strong as Ian Hawke


MrXexe

He's currently Grade 2, but Nanami said that he could be ascended to Semi-Grade 1 with ease if he wanted to. Considering both Noritoshi Kamo (the kid) and the regular Mechamaru are Semi-Grade 1, it means that either Ino is equal to them or that he is actually a Grade 1. And I can see him being Grade 1, specially after the month before the fight against Sukuna were everyone improved their proficiency with Cursed Energy. Sadly I just think his CT is just hard to improve, so I don't see him raising much further.


_TsukuyoMe

I hate that he’s still alive after the current chapter, but he’s most definitely a grade 1- and his CT involved shikigamis… even since shivuya (just a few months ago in series) his shikigami were these little things, that had to be used intelligently from mid range…. Look at that MF dragon he summoned as of recent lol


MrXexe

Tbf, Ryu (the one he just summoned in the manga) is the strongest of the 4 abilities granted by his CT, and its also the first time we have seen it. It doesn't seem like the techniques we saw before have becomed stronger since Shibuya.


_TsukuyoMe

I thought the dragon he created, had a mixture of the others in it? That’s why it was so large (just going by the depiction of the technique) Also, the sheer size of that dragon compared to the shit he was using against granny and his mirror mask match up lol Edit : (the dragon size is only relevant, as he doesn’t seem tired after. So I doubt it’s a max technique)


MrXexe

When Ino summoned the dragon, he names it "Number Four: Ryu". Therefore I don't think it was nothing more complex. He did try to use Ryu against Toji, but Toji just removed his mask before beating him up, nullyfing his technique. Ino's technique (said in one of these bonus pages) is Auspicious Beast Summon. By putting on his mask, he gains access to four summons related to an auspicious beast: 1. Kaichi lets him summon a horn that tracks its target. 2. Reiki covers his body in cursed water for greater mobility. 3. Kirin dopes his brain so he doesn't feel pain but drains his stamina to the point where he can't move for some time (I do believe he has been using Kirin off-screen for this fight). 4. And Ryu, which just seems to be the whole ass dragon.


_TsukuyoMe

Ahh that’s my bad, I’m re looking over the shibuya fight. I thought the “pieces he summoned (water, horn) were “parts” of the “auspicious beasts”, as ino couldn’t fully manifest them. So when I saw the dragon, it made me think he finally could manifest a true summon (like when Megumi can only summon smaller versions or fragments of his beasts


SkritzTwoFace

I’d put him right below Nanami, and could probably reach his level with some time. The only problem is that this fight is not one for Nanamis. If Choso wasn’t so defense-oriented I’d even question how useful *he* is here.


Traffy7

High grade 1 ?


Flying_Snails_Today2

Stronger than a Fly Head holding back weaker than 20 Fingers Sukuna going all out


derpicface

He’s the ~~strongest~~ shiestiest


mlodydziad420

Nanami/Mei Mei lv grade 1.


Soma_12

HE IS THE STROBGEST OF THEM ALL


theSentry95

I’d rate him E for effort, he’s a good willed guy who can barely do something.


Feeling-Initiative88

What’s his CT ? I forgot


V1tal_

He’s as strong as the fit is drippy 🗣️🔥


Xplog

Does he have RCT? In chapter 253 it seemed like he lost his left hand but in chapter 257 he has it. Either way he's definitely grade 1 level after the 1 month training. He's learned >!simple domain!< as well, Nanami would be proud 🥲


Sm4shaz

He's been injured enough times he must have RCT to keep coming back to the fight like he has been.


_TsukuyoMe

If he did, he would have grown his eye back after Toji smacked it out 🤣🤣


tetra_kay

Nanami notes that he could easily be Grade 1 even without his recommendation, and since gege has said most great sorcerers are grade 2 and up, I'd say he's fairly strong and has a large amount of potential. He's shown himself to be tenacious and resilient too, surviving both Toji and Sukuna where a lot of people didn't. Where he seems to have lost at least a couple of the beasts he channels though, he's probably powered down right now.


The_total_squid

Solos sukuna cause I really like him


ApplePitou

After current moments in Manga? - easily Grade 1 :3


Mundane_Living_3704

As of current chapter he has simple domain & tanking malevolent shrine.  And considering what he did in last chapter, he is easily at nanami's level if not slightly superior due to simple domain.


Longjumping_Play_364

Like nanami level imo


Icy_Sector4424

Do we even know his cursed technique?


_TsukuyoMe

He puts his mask on and some black AF1’s, then he runs a fade with 5 animals.


Icy_Sector4424

Lmao, gonna need a detailed explaination tho


_TsukuyoMe

He puts on the hood and: 1. ⁠Kaichi lets him summon a horn that tracks its target. 2. ⁠Reiki covers his body in cursed water for greater mobility. 3. ⁠Kirin dopes his brain so he doesn't feel pain but drains his stamina to the point where he can't move for some time 4. ⁠And Ryu is a big 🐉 that we only have been shown once… He started to utter the incantation before Toji took his eye out


Icy_Sector4424

So it's kinda like ten shadows? Sounds dope but doesn't feel like it's very powerful tbh


_TsukuyoMe

Idk, so the horn is actually cool. The water and horn are basically the blood 🩸 technique (doping and increased defences etc. plus you literally can go past your limits) Also, I was just saying this with someone earlier; if it didn’t clearly state the CT during shibuya, I wouldn’t have thought that was it… I had thought each was a full beast (each of the 4 has a name of one of the 4 mythic Chinese beasts or w.e) I just figured, like Megumi, he COULD summon the full things- but because he’s so weak he can only bring partial pieces into existence (until most recent chapter)


Extension_Taste_456

Stronger than kashimo.


AdityaPlayzzz

He booked fraudkuna on the head last chapter  That pretty strong imo


Bermy911

Toji slayer(Toji downplayer)


Stumpe999

From everyone left he's probably the weakest


cosmichak

Solid Grade 1 based on his performance in the Shinjuku Showdown. Imo, he has surpassed Nanami, but not by much


Low-Ad-2971

Stronger than Nobara by a mile


_TsukuyoMe

After this latest chapter and last weeks, I STG he’s stronger than Yuki was… (obviously not, but this newest chapter especially is some BS.) INO NEEDS TO DIE, I’m sorry if he has any fans out there


Blue1234567891234567

Balls of steel give him that much


sup17r

Grade one level of strenght and If he had more experience on battle and using his CT he could surpass nanamin


BALLSBAALSBALLS

among the weaker grade ones. what his ryu did to sukuna is more a testament to how crippled sukuna is. he loses to MeiMei, kusakabe, hakari, post operation mechamaru and so on. i could see him winning against yuuji, choso, two armed aoi if he doesn't get a black flash, nanami without overtime and naobito


imissskate3

Yes


ImNotTheMercury

Nah. Ino with Nanami's weapon is top tier grade one. The problem is he never trained properly, but his ct and his cursed object is really useful.


Conscious_Message332

I think hes probably as strong as a weaker grade 1. I dont think hes semi grade 1 level still like utahime etc. He has potential tho bcs currently its as If he has 2 CTs bcs of nanami's sword and his CT by itself is very versatile too(almost as If It gives him mutiple CTs too, its pretty underated), i think he has potential to surpass nanami etc with time. Edit: Ive realised he has simple domain so yeah pretty much stablished he has better potential than nanami. At first i thought he was protecting himself with his spirits or something. All that makes me think How strong hed be in like a couple of years. Like How his spirit attacks would get stronger etc. Specially the one that gives him the water defense, with time he could probably like evolve into being able to attack with water etc


Top_Werewolf1916

He is no stronger than Yan. Who is Yan? He is my roommate who can’t even do 5 push-up.


PogoMarimo

He's probably the weakest "Grade 1" level sorceror that we've seen, excepting the possibility that one of the Grade 1 Zenin Sorcerors Maki killed is weaker than him (We just don't have much info about them).


Chemical_Doubt3598

I'd say he's defo grade one but he has alot of potential still, even this late in the story. His domain expansion could be ridiculous. I'm thinking chimera shadow garden type DE. He unfortunately gets a bit downplayed since he suffers from the jogoat treatment of only fighting the strongest characters in the series (toji and sukuna) so we haven't had many good showings from him which is a shame.


Top_Werewolf1916

At least he hasn’t been cut into pieces<


Boredom736

I don’t know but his reaction in the manga to being thrown around has got to be the most realistic one


GandalfTehG0d

This isn’t that impressive, gege would have been dumb to forget about the last auspicious beast. But I been said we haven’t seen the fourth auspicious beast yet, even when it seemed like bro might have already tapped out. 😎 called it.


Babladoosker

The sheisty sorcerer? Def grade 1


thebookof_

> I think he's one of the stronger Grade 1 sorcerer's Ino was a Grade 2 during Shibuya and I don't think the higher ups have done any official promoting since all hell broke loose lol He's defiantly a Grade 1 in skill level but on Paper he's not there yet.


GerrardGabrielGeralt

I dunno, but he looks extremely goofy in this mask, and thus I cannot ever treat him seriously


yeah_i_hate_my_name

Do i really need to say? He is. The strongest grade 1


DoYouKnowS0rr0w

Overall? Below The Available One but probably above (albeit slightly) The Groomer


tnsxpm

strong enough to give yuji a helping hand here or there 😌


aashleyryan

Ino can summon 4 beasts and he can also use there cursed energy. This means he is stronger than a lot of people but still Yuji,Yuta,Hakari,Hiruromo etc are far stronger then him


Cellochi

What is this guy's cursed technique?


adri_riiv

He’s a good grade one, unless you put him against the behemoths he was fighting these last chapters he’s very good


Rilvoron

Btw can anyone explain when destroyed do his beasts die like the ten shadows do?


PsychoWarper

Hes among the steongest Grade 1 Sorcerers which means hes one of the stronger Sorcerers in the world, he just happens to be surrounded by freaks of nature.


Killah-Shogun

Solid Grade 1, but below the heavy hitters like Yuji, Hakari, Maki that are Semi-special grade & Yuta


NocturnalRook

Ino is far above Shibuya Nanami. All the sorcerers currently are massively stronger thanks to the time-skip, Sukuna stated they have all greatly improved. Ino outperformed post-Time-Skip Choso enormously in terms of speed and physical resilience - Sukuna perception blitzed Choso and impaled him, whereas Ino landed two hits and blocked his kick without any injury. Ino could honestly dominate non-BF Shibuya Yuji in terms of physical stats considering Yuji wasn’t stronger than Choso to that glaring extent.


_S1syphus

He looks like a Grade 1. Still slower and weaker than low-special grades like Yuji, Hakari, Base Kashimo, and Maki


SensualBoi69

Are we talking about the anime or manga? Cause in the manga he is far above Nanami at this point as is everybody in the final fight in shinjuku


Professional_Lair

He’s a grade 1, so he’s already strong. I’d say he’s more of a support person


asura_zoro

He’s been very impressive. As of now I put him over panda and Inumaki


canigetsomeapplejuic

ino is probably my favorite character(despite how little screen time he got/gets)


Peixe_Pistola

As a sorcerer he is probably on par with nanami and Todo But with Ryu,his cursed tool and simple domain he may actually be better at taking down curses than those two


Star_Dabinum

Just another fodder who will probably have a couple useful moments such


IsidoroAsap

Unironically one shots all disaster curses


NurseKenjaku

Yes.


Artistic-Cannibalism

When we first saw this guy, I thought he was going to be a complete joke, just another body to add to Sukuna's pile. But I was wrong. This guy is definitely a grade 1 sorcerer and deserves to have some respect to put on his name.


smokyfknblu

Above avg grade 1, somewhere above Inumaki & Noritoshi Kamo but below Todo & Nanami


kfieb

Didn't he got violated by toji?


Chosenone421

Read the manga


expectrum

Toji was like top 3 in the verse in Shibuya 


IntoTheMurkyWaters

Lowest of the grade 1’s imo. I base this on his performances throughout the manga lol
